Transdifferentiation of Muscle Satellite Cells to Adipose Cells Using CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Targeting of MyoD

Abstract: Brown adipocytes dissipate energy through non-shivering thermogenesis mediated by UCP1 protein, hence representing a powerful target to overcome obesity due to energy surplus. However, brown adipocytes are scarce in adult humans, especially in obese subjects, urging the development of novel strategies to boost the number of these thermogenic adipocytes from a therapeutical perspective. In this regard, transdifferentiation of myoblasts into brown adipocytes represents a promising approach. Here, we describe a m… Show more

“…In addition, inactivation of both MyoD and IGF2 accelerates differentiation of brown preadipocytes and increases the expression of Ucp1 and Prdm16, as well as promotes brown adipose tissue (BAT) development in vivo by increasing Prdm16 expression (Borensztein et al, 2012). At the molecular level, knockout of MyoD drives the transdifferentiation of myoblast via downregulating miR‐133 to activate the PI3K‐Akt signaling pathway and Prdm16 (J. Chen et al, 2019; C. Wang et al, 2017). These findings demonstrate that MyoD acts as a key molecular repressor of the myoblasts to brown adipocytes switching.…”

“…Moreover, loss of MyoD can facilitate the adipogenic differentiation of myoblasts in vivo (J. Chen et al, 2019;. Conversely, in brown preadipocytes, forced expression of MyoD upregulates the expression of myogenic genes and blocks brown adipogenesis (J.…”
